“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
Dear Friends,
As we embrace the summer season, our hearts turn towards the children and young adults of Israel who face daily challenges most of us can scarcely imagine. In the southern cities of Sderot, Ofakim, Netivot, and Ashdod, the impact of terror and rocket attacks has left lasting scars on the communities and families living there. Yet, amidst these adversities, there is a profound opportunity for hope and renewal through education.
This summer, we are launching two critical initiatives to support the educational needs of these brave young individuals. Our Pack to School project aims to provide 1,100 school bags filled with essential supplies to children in these hard-hit areas. Each backpack costs approximately $45, and it is more than just a bag—it is a symbol of care, a beacon of hope, and a stepping stone to a brighter future. Additionally, we are planning special events in these locations, each event costing about $2,700, to bring joy and encouragement to the children and their families.
Moreover, we are committed to supporting higher education for terror survivors through our scholarship program for Terror Survivors. We plan to sponsor 60 students with scholarships of about $400 each, helping them pursue their dreams and rebuild their lives. A special event at the Millennium Center will be held to present these scholarships, celebrating the resilience and potential of these extraordinary young people.
Your support can make a profound difference in the lives of these children and students. By donating to our Educational Advancement fund, you provide the tools they need to succeed and the encouragement to persevere. Together, we can help them overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams.
Please join us in this vital mission. Your generosity today can transform lives and build a brighter future for Israel’s next generation. Donate today to our Educational Advancement fund and be a part of this transformative journey.

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19
Thank you for your steadfast support and prayers.
With blessings,
